Today I'm eliminating people that I only have a connection of "mutual friends" with. The people who I share 30-50 connections with, but still don't have any direct contact, or real history with. I've chosen them with a persona non grata as a starting point.
1. You "babysat" for me once on a car ride to a Phish show.
2. Sigh. A really nice guy, who was really just a friend-of-a-friend when we lived in the same town. Sometimes I'm conflicted about removing people, because I don't want them to take it personally. But realism needs to win out if this is going to be successful. But you haven't posted since June, so....
3. You were really just kind of a mean person in high school. I hope that's changed, but don't have any evidence either way. The guys you hung out with were all just rude and mean, and I even think you nicknamed me "crappy" at one point. I'm not holding a grudge, but also not holding on to people who haven't influenced me for the better.
4. One-way posting: I tried twice to start a dialogue with you, and you left me hanging. And then posted a guilt-inducing comment about not acknowledging your mom's passing when I was traveling to our hometown?!? And I don't think I'd ever met her.
Still whittling away!
